Hello! This is my first post here!
I am trying to do my first project with CMake and I am stuck. I am working with windows.
Please, can you help me?
Currently, there are two issues:
- I am trying to include an external library called GCLib, but CMake does not find it.
- If I copy the library to the output folder then a message appears telling me that there are undefined symbols. I included gc.h but (I suppose) the linker is not linking them properly:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK1120 2 unresolved externals C:\multiDimIndex\out\build\x64-Debug\multiDimIndex C:\multiDimIndex\out\build\x64-Debug\multiDimIndex.exe 1
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp_GC_init referenced in function main C:\multiDimIndex\out\build\x64-Debug\multiDimIndex C:\multiDimIndex\out\build\x64-Debug\multiDimIndex.cpp.obj 1

My current file list:
My current CMakeList is:
CMakeList.txt : CMake project for multiDimIndex, include source and define
project specific logic here.

When CMake is run, this is the output:
